Uddeholm carbon steel

Equivalent: Aisi 1095

A multi-purpose 1% carbon steel with high tensile strength. It is often the standard choice for the medium and thinner range of various components – e.g. springs, knives and valves. It is hardened and tempered to a fine martensitic structure providing the highest fatigue strength among all unalloyed steels.

Popular steel for damascus / pattern welded blades in combination with 15N20
